Here it is, January 21st, and I am just now posting photos of my girls. In their Halloween costumes. From October.
Isn't that how it goes sometimes? You spend hours crafting and creating adorable costumes for your infant and toddler daughters. You are already running on fumes from working all day and being up all night with your 4 month old who still wants to party 3 or 4 times a night. Then the big day, Halloween, rolls around and the sky dumps buckets of water, your toddler acts like the very act of wearing her costume is going to kill her, and you end up snapping some very un-cute photos in a awful lighting and calling it done.
Fast forward to this past weekend. While doing some spring cleaning I ran across Eleanor's owl costume and decided to just go for it! I yelled at Landen to grab my camera, hauled Eleanor into Adeline's room, dressed her up and snapped away. Right about then, Adeline woke up from her nap in the nursery and so I made the executive decision that today was going to be "Costume Picture Day!". (I may or may not have actually screamed this at Landen once or twice in an effort to get him motivated.) Adeline did much better with her costume and I was able to get some of my absolute favorite pictures of her.
So here ya go. Halloween costumes in January, because sometimes you just have to roll with it.
